flag NSW opposition agrees to workers comp reform, freezing premiums and raising injury thresholds.

flag NSW opposition leader Kellie Sloane has reached a compromise on workers compensation reform, freezing iCare premiums for 18 months to shield small businesses and charities from sudden increases. flag The deal raises the whole person impairment threshold for psychological injury benefits from 15% to 25%, extends income support for injured workers by up to 3.5 years, and boosts funding for return-to-work programs including retraining and mentoring. flag A new clinical test for permanent psychological injury will be developed by the state’s Chief Psychiatrist. flag While the opposition does not fully endorse Labor’s broader plan, the agreement prevents system instability and provides immediate relief ahead of Christmas, with long-term structural reform still pending.
